| Abstract |
Decision makers often assume they know the public's standpoints and see themselves as capable of representing them. The aim of this study is to assess the level of acquaintance that senior decision-makers in the Israeli health system have concerning the priorities of the public in whose name they act. A phone survey was conducted with a representative population sample and face-to-face interviews were conducted with senior decision-makers. The decision-makers did predict correctly the public's desired level of government involvement in health care; but only some of them correctly predicted the public's preferences on allocation of funds-to health versus other areas. They had difficulty foreseeing public priorities for allocating additional monies to health, and even greater difficulty ascertaining preferences of the public for their own health insurance. Government decision-making processes should include evidence about public preferences. The findings of this study indicate that decision makers need to be provided with reliable, systematic information on public preferences. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2016.
All research outputs
#3,209,400
of 22,880,230 outputs
Outputs from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#71
of 578 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#59,785
of 351,572 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#2
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,230 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 578 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 351,572 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
